Bishop Lamont has offered fans an early look at the forthcoming video for “Pan’s Labyrinth,” a new single featuring acclaimed producer Focus…. The track marks the first official video collaboration between the two artists, a partnership Lamont says has been long overdue.
Directed by Gifted Glitch alongside Lamont himself, the visual pairs cinematic elements with a darker conceptual tone suggested by its title. Behind-the-scenes clips shared online show the duo on set in what appears to be a stylized, performance-driven shoot, hinting at a polished aesthetic that aligns with their shared musical roots.
Lamont, who rose to prominence in the mid-2000s as an affiliate of Aftermath Entertainment, built early momentum through collaborations with Dr. Dre and appearances during the label’s transitional period following the departures of key artists. Though his long-anticipated debut album under Aftermath never materialized, Lamont maintained a loyal following through independent releases and high-profile collaborations, keeping one foot in the legacy of West Coast rap while forging his own path.
Focus…, a Grammy-winning producer and songwriter, has long been associated with the Aftermath orbit as well, contributing to projects across the hip-hop and R&B spectrum. His production résumé includes work with artists spanning multiple eras, bridging the gap between analog-era studio discipline and modern digital refinement. While the two have crossed creative paths before, “Pan’s Labyrinth” represents their first official video pairing.
In announcing the project, Lamont also confirmed that he and Focus… are completing a full-length collaborative album. He described the sound as a reimagined extension of the Aftermath tradition—polished, expansive, and rooted in West Coast musical architecture, yet updated for a new chapter. For longtime followers of both artists, the prospect suggests unfinished business from an era when Aftermath’s roster was reshaping the direction of mainstream rap.
